[Abstract] Amide proton transfer (APT) imaging is a rapidly developed and mature method in chemical exchange saturation transfer imaging, based on the theory of magnetization transfer and chemical exchange, APT imaging assays changes in intracellular protein concentration and pH by detecting the rate at which amide-protons on free proteins and polypeptide chains exchange with hydrogen ions in water. As a non-invasive cellular molecular level magnetic resonance technique, APT imaging can provide important imaging information in brain injury, brain tumor, neurodegenerative disease and brain development in children, and provide help for clinical diagnosis, treatment and prognosis. This paper mainly describes the application status and progress of APT imaging in the central nervous system.
